What to Ask Before Hiring Roofing Contractors

Installing new shingles and giving you the best roofing services is what all contractors should do. However, it takes a true professional to meet certain standards. So, before you say yes, ask the contractor these questions, and see if they are the right person for the job.

Do You Have a License?

A local roofer doesn’t automatically mean a well-trained one. Those who are licensed by the state have two important advantages. First, they have knowledge and experience to give you the best advice and service. Second, they have access to high-quality materials so that your roof stays strong for a long time.

For instance, we are a licensed GAF Master Elite® contractor. This means we have a proven reputation and professional training.

What Exactly Is the Project?

A good roofer knows exactly what your project involves. This includes the possible cost of roofing materials, the estimated time of completion and a detailed description of what must be done. Make sure they have everything written down in a contract.

What Are the Terms of Payment?

Trustworthy contractors often provide a free estimate and inspection of your house to determine the project. Before hiring them, make sure you both discuss and agree on the payment conditions. This includes how much they are paid, possible down payment fees and even rights to rescind. Again, make sure this is all written down.

Do You Have Insurance?

Lastly, make sure that your contractors are insured. This saves you from any liabilities from any accidents or injuries on-site. Professionals also offer worthwhile warranties to cover any manufacturing or workmanship issues.
